Reader Email: I’m No Longer a Fat Ass, Which Flyers Jersey Should I Get?

Voila_Capture241Email from reader Larry:

Kyle… Help… I recently lost 215 pounds all my flyers jerseys are HUGE on me now… I need a New Jersey… But I’m sick of buying a player and they get traded in a year and I don’t wanna wear it anymore.. So I wanna get a new style jersey and customize it with a vintage player… Somebody a true flyers fan can appreciate… Who do I go?… Parent? Clarke?… My all time fav flyer is Hexy and he’s prolly gonna be the gm when Holmgren starts fellating snider with less vigor… Howe? Desjardins? Kerr?… Help me man who should I get?

First of all, you don’t need a New Jersey. You need a new jersey, not the state governed by Chris Christie, The Governor.

Agreed– don’t get a current player unless it’s G. Not even Paul Holmgren in a drunken rage and with a sticky PS 3 controller would move him.

I’m not a huge fan of the new-style customized with old player look. BUT. But there’s an acceptable loophole– the Winter Classic Alumni Game. They wore current jerseys. So, you can get an old player in the new style without penalty, provided he played in the game. God is good to you, my friend.

My thoughts on your suggestions:

Parent: Maybe. But he’s lost something since he’s revealed how totally out of touch he is in his Philly.com pieces.

Clarke: Never a bad choice. But it’s like choosing to root for Man U in soccer– everyone will get a Clarke.

Hexy: You don’t want a GM’s jersey. It’s like church and state.

Howe: Great choice, but he works for the Red Wings and identifies himself as much with that org. as he does the Flyers. Always leaves a bad taste in my mouth when an athlete has dual citizenship.

Kerr: Do you really want to wear a Shore realtor’s name on your back?

Desjardins: Bingo. I’m guessing you’re in your late 20s, early 30s. If so, Dej is as much a part of your Flyers memories as any. Had his best years of his career here. Never any problems. Well-respected and known, yet kind of obscure. Maybe left a bad taste in your mouth once he started doing that spinning on a top thing at the blue line his last couple of years, but overall a great player with a perfect Lou Nolan name – Eric Desjarrrrrrrdins – a knack for coming up big, and a great goal celebration.

His overtime goal against the Rangers in Game 1 of the 1995 Eastern Conference Semifinals (1:33) is one of my all-time favorite Flyers moments:

Get it without the C, though. Get the A.

  1. This reminded me of a guy i used to play hockey with. He was fat and wore a LeClair jersry that was really tight. We used to call him eclair lol

    Rico is a good choice- or LeClair, Brind’Amour or Primeau

  2. “Never any problems.”

    Great description of Desjardins.
    Smooth as silk and when he moved the puck out of his own zone it’s as if he never even felt the opposition’s pressure. Class act all the way and one of my favorite all-time Flyers for sure.

  3. How about you get it right and call it a sweater. Also, grow the fuck up and get some nice clothes instead of those tents you have been wearing.

  4. Thanks Kyle… Ordering my Desjardins SWEATER with an A tonight… Thanks for putting up the post man…

  5. Steve, Norman… Learn to read… I’ve already LOST the weight… I weigh 160lbs and have nothing but XXL jerseys… I just ordered my Desjardins in M… So suck it

    1. Yo Larry, congrats buddy, losing weight isn’t easy. Screw these guys. Also the Flyers should revert back to the jerseys 90’s and early 00’s.

  6. Congrats Larry on losing all those lbs! I would get an old school #22 rick tocchet jersey.

    Have you got any pussy since the weight loss?

  7. Wearing a Jersey with another grown man’s name on the back is just plain gay.

    Get a flyers t-shirt and shut the fuck up you hero worshipping pussy.

  8. Pat Falloon. Might as well honor your weight loss by putting his fat ass on the back of your jersey.

  9. where the hell do people get all of those clips to make highlight videos of old players..

  10. No love for Bill Barber? A Hall of Famer in his own right, one of the best LW in history but he is always behind Clarke and Bernie in recognition (rightfully so in terms of impact).

  11. Thanks for the marvelous posting! I really enjoyed reading it, you can be a great
    author.I will always bookmark your blog and will
    often come back down the road. I want to encourage you continue your great work, have a
    nice afternoon!

    things out. I like what I see so i am just following you. Look forward to finding out about your web page again.

    Greetings I am so thrilled I found your web site, I really found you by error,
    while I was browsing on Askjeeve for something else, Anyhow I am here now and would just like to say thanks a lot for a remarkable post and a all round thrilling blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have
    time to read it all at the minute but I have saved it and
    also added your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read much more,
    Please do keep up the excellent work.
    Appreciating the persistence you put into your site and in depth information you offer.

    It’s awesome to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same old
    rehashed material. Fantastic read! I’ve bookmarked your
    site and I’m adding your RSS feeds to my
    Google account.
    Hey there! I’ve been reading your site for a long time now and finally got the courage to go ahead and
    give you a shout out from Huffman Tx! Just wanted to say keep up
    the good job!
    I am really enjoying the theme/design of your site. Do you
    ever run into any browser compatibility problems?
    A handful of my blog readers have complained
    about my website not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Safari.
    Do you have any advice to help fix this problem?
    I’m curious to find out what blog system you happen to be
    working with? I’m having some minor security problems with
    my latest blog and I would like to find something more safe.
    Do you have any suggestions?
    Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so I
    guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything.
    Do you have any suggestions for inexperienced blog writers?
    I’d certainly appreciate it.
    Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this blog.
    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s difficult to get that “perfect balance” between usability and appearance.
    I must say you’ve done a very good job with this.
    Also, the blog loads super fast for me on Safari.

    Exceptional Blog!
    Do you mind if I quote a couple of your posts as long as
    I provide credit and sources back to your webpage?
    My blog site is in the exact same area of interest as yours and my users
    would certainly benefit from a lot of the information you provide here.
    Please let me know if this okay with you.
    Thank you!
    Howdy would you mind letting me know which web host
    you’re working with? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different web browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most.
    Can you recommend a good web hosting provider at a fair price?
    Thanks, I appreciate it!
    Awesome site you have here but I was wondering if you
    knew of any forums that cover the same topics discussed in this
    article? I’d really like to be a part of group
    where I can get suggestions from other knowledgeable
    individuals that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations,
    please let me know. Appreciate it!
    Good day! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and tell
    you I genuinely enjoy reading your blog posts. Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that deal with the same subjects?
    Thanks!
    Do you have a spam problem on this site; I also am a blogger,
    and I was curious about your situation; many of us have developed
    some nice procedures and we are looking to trade techniques with other folks, be sure to shoot me
    an e-mail if interested.
    Please let me know if you’re looking for a article writer for your
    weblog. You have some really good articles and
    I think I would be a good asset. If you ever want
    to take some of the load off, I’d really like to write some content for your blog in exchange for a
    link back to mine. Please blast me an e-mail if interested.
    Thanks!
    Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your
    articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and all.
    But just imagine if you added some great graphics or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”!
    Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this site could undeniably be one of the best in its field.
    Good blog!
    Fascinating blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
    A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog shine.
    Please let me know where you got your design. Bless you
    Hey there would you mind sharing which blog platform
    you’re using? I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most
    blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
    P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to
    ask!
    Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The
    text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Opera.
    I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something
    to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know.
    The layout look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon.
    Cheers
    With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation?
    My blog has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of
    it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission.
    Do you know any solutions to help reduce content from being ripped off?
    I’d really appreciate it.
    Have you ever considered creating an ebook or guest authoring on other
    sites? I have a blog centered on the same information you discuss and would love to have you
    share some stories/information. I know my readers would appreciate your work.

    If you are even remotely interested, feel free to send me an e-mail.

    Howdy! Someone in my Facebook group shared this site with us so I came to check it out.
    I’m definitely loving the information. I’m book-marking
    and will be tweeting this to my followers!
    Excellent blog and wonderful style and design.
    Great blog! Do you have any recommendations for
    aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own website soon but I’m a little
    lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option?
    There are so many options out there that I’m completely confused
    .. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!
    My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from
    PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type
    on a variety of websites for about a year and
    am anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard very good things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Does your site have a contact page? I’m having problems locating
    it but, I’d like to send you an email. I’ve got some suggestions for
    your blog you might be interested in hearing.
    Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it grow over time.

    It’s a pity you don’t have a donate button! I’d certainly donate to this superb blog!

    I suppose for now i’ll settle for bookmarking and adding your RSS
    feed to my Google account. I look forward to fresh updates and will share
    this blog with my Facebook group. Chat soon!
    Greetings from Los angeles! I’m bored to death at work
    so I decided to check out your website on my iphone during lunch break.
    I enjoy the information you present here and can’t wait to
    take a look when I get home. I’m surprised at how fast your blog loaded on my mobile ..
    I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow,
    fantastic site!
    Greetings! I know this is kinda off topic however ,
    I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing
    a blog article or vice-versa? My website covers a lot
    of the same topics as yours and I think we could greatly benefit
    from each other. If you are interested feel free to send me an email.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Wonderful blog by the
    way!
    At this time it looks like WordPress is the top blogging platform out
    there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

    Exceptional post but I was wondering if you could write
    a litte more on this subject? I’d be very thankful if you could elaborate a
    little bit further. Cheers!
    Hello there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was
    wondering if you knew where I could get a captcha plugin for my comment form?
    I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having trouble finding one?

    Thanks a lot!
    When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and
    now each time a comment is added I get three e-mails
    with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
    Thank you!
    Hello! This is my first visit to your blog! We are a
    collection of volunteers and starting a new initiative in a
    community in the same niche. Your blog provided
    us valuable information to work on. You have done a marvellous job!

    Hi! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you
    using for this website? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve
    had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform.
    I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a
    good platform.
    Howdy! This post could not be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me
    of my previous room mate! He always kept chatting about this.
    I will forward this page to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read.
    Many thanks for sharing!
    Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied
    on the video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why throw away your
    intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be
    giving us something informative to read?
    Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found
    a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.”
    She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off
    topic but I had to tell someone!
    The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if
    it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
    My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
    I know this is completely off topic but I had to share
    it with someone!
    I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of
    your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people
    could connect with it better. Youve got an awful
    lot of text for only having one or 2 images. Maybe you could space
    it out better?
    Hi, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam responses?
    If so how do you reduce it, any plugin or anything you can recommend?
    I get so much lately it’s driving me crazy so any support is very much appreciated.

    This design is wicked! You most certainly know how to keep a reader entertained.
    Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved
    to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Wonderful job.
    I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
    Too cool!
    I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes
    it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often.
    Did you hire out a developer to create your theme?
    Exceptional work!
    Hi! I could have sworn I’ve been to this site before but after checking through some
    of the post I realized it’s new to me. Nonetheless, I’m definitely delighted I
    found it and I’ll be book-marking and checking back frequently!

    Hello there! Would you mind if I share your blog with my myspace group?
    There’s a lot of folks that I think would really
    enjoy your content. Please let me know. Cheers
    Hi, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues.
    When I look at your blog site in Safari, it looks fine but when
    opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just
    wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, amazing blog!

    Wonderful blog! I found it while searching on Yahoo
    News. Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo
    News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get
    there! Cheers
    Hi! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog.
    Is it difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast.
    I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to begin.

    Do you have any points or suggestions? Thanks
    Hiya! Quick question that’s completely off topic.
    Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
    My web site looks weird when browsing from my apple iphone.

    I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to correct this issue.
    If you have any suggestions, please share. Many thanks!

    I’m not that much of a internet reader to be honest but your
    blogs really nice, keep it up! I’ll go ahead and bookmark your site to come back
    in the future. Many thanks
    I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you create this website yourself or
    did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz answer back as I’m looking to design my own
    blog and would like to know where u got this from. kudos
    Incredible! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a entirely different topic but
    it has pretty much the same layout and design. Superb choice of colors!

    Howdy just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of
    the pictures aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
    I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both
    show the same results.
    Howdy are using WordPress for your blog platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and
    create my own. Do you need any coding expertise to make
    your own blog? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Howdy this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting
    to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get guidance
    from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no data
    backup. Do you have any solutions to stop hackers?

    Hello there! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would
    be ok. I’m absolutely enjoying your blog and look forward to new posts.

    Hello! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against hackers?
    I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on.
    Any recommendations?
    Hey there! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist with Search Engine Optimization?
    I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good success.
    If you know of any please share. Many thanks!
    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is needed
    to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% sure. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the pictures on this blog loading?
    I’m trying to find out if its a problem on my end or if it’s
    the blog. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    I’m not sure exactly why but this site is loading incredibly slow for
    me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a issue on my end?

    I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.

    Howdy! I’m at work browsing your blog from my new apple iphone!
    Just wanted to say I love reading through your blog
    and look forward to all your posts! Carry on the fantastic work!

    Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an very long comment but
    after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up. Grrrr…
    well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyways, just wanted to say superb blog!

  12. Hello! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if
    you knew where I could locate a captcha plugin for my comment form?

    I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having trouble finding one?
    Thanks a lot!

  13. Hi I am so delighted I found your site, I really found you by accident, while I was browsing on Digg for something else,
    Nonetheless I am here now and would just like to say thanks a lot for a
    remarkable post and a all round interesting blog (I also
    love the theme/design), I don’t have time to go through it all at the minute but I have book-marked it and also added in your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will
    be back to read a great deal more, Please do keep up the great
    b.
